just an idea.
reckon some of you have already thought of this and are doing so but...
for those who havent.
recently put an ad on the local craigslist seeking turkey feathers.
have had two responses from local folks who raise turkeys
and have already been given the feathers from one tom that was killed by a coon.
lovely black and white feathers from a royal palm.
this couple and the other contact i have made raise varieties of turkeys so will have many colors of feathers.
they are willing to just give me feathers.
the second contact also runs a post yard so there may be hedge available too.
they are about 1 1/2 hrs away but im gonna make a trip out soon,
check out their trees and see if they have any bow wood on their property.
anyhoos, most arrow makers i know are always on a quest for feathers so ya may wanna give craigslist a go.
